| - being a bit generous
Took son here he was very excited;we are from los angeles and love pinball games, and there are zero arcades were we live. (such a small city of 10 million people hard to find one)
++++:
-very close and accessible from strip via car---simply take tropicana down past UNLV
-great selection of games
-never crowded
-10 to 20 bucks lasts hours if you play well
-restroom inside (smells like shit but its a restroom)
-sodas and popcorn vending machine inside
-lots of morons forget free games or balls, mustve picked up at least 12-15 free games just like that in 2 days! Keep your eyes on the screen for credits, hey why not be proud to be a game-cheeser.
-supposedly profits go to charity, instead of crooked white-collar vegas brass.
minuses:
-Repairman/owner is a dick...asked him politely to reset a pinball game that didnt work properly, he shut machine down saying it was broken and told us to pick another game. After 5 seconds he snapped "quickly"--what a pedophile jerk-off.
-very dark inside. Can barely see except for the pinball lights keeping place lit.
-lots of games are not working properly, i.e. terminator2 had lots of lights and point areas not working, or some flippers weak. And it seems most games rigged I played certain machines in L.A. for much longer than they last here. Lots of balls get stuck a lot, have to tilt the machine and risk losing entire game.
-must have played over a hundred games maybe 3-4 match replays awarded only. more rigging.
-most of the fun new games cost 75 cents a play. only the crappy 1950 games are 25 cents, and those suck beyond belief.
-back area looks like a junkyard, clean it up or put up a drywall man.
If you want to avoid gambling and need change of pace, its cool. If you are picky maybe this place aint for you. My son's enjoyment far outweighed any negative, but did I mention owner is a DICK
